This is my go to yarn for felting or crafting anything I want in a pure wool. It is perfect for making baby soakers and felted hats and slippers.

Great for classic Aran cable work and textures. . Consistency, quality and value bring Real Wool possibilities to anyone, you can feel and smell lanolin, which I love. Good for sweaters worn over a shirt, blankets, outerwear, and for me… next to skin works! It will felt. Not super wash treated. Hand wash and block. Tepid water in a sink, tub, tote, a bit of shampoo and conditioner and a soak and rinse without stretching or agitating. Lay out on layered towels, roll up. Walk on it to squeeze out water. Lay out on dry towels and shape it how it should be shaped. Let dry. YouTube it. Easier than it sounds. Very worthwhile. But don’t expect a giftee to succeed in that. This is a good “ToMeForMefromMe” present as my mother says. Yummy wool. Thank you Lion. Probably a good learning yarn. Elastic and comes light colored for easy visibility needed to learn. And economical.

I love this wool yarn. It's very basic, not fancy or too expensive, but mixes well with other yarn, and felts if you want it that way. And naturally, it's very warm, even when wet, as 100% wool is.

Great price for quality wool yarn. Working on a sweater and have been impressed by the ease of use. As 100% wool, it is (of course) a bit scratchy, so keep that in mind. If you’re looking for a softer yarn, go for a mix of wool and polyester/synthetic. This sweater is going to be super warm and perfect for winter! Great yarn for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for 100% wool yarn for a project.

I see a lot of complaints about this yarn around the internet. It seems to me those complaints are short-sighted. Does it have issues like occasional odd threads of this and that that need to be pulled out? Yes. Is it Aran weight? No. But the positives far outweigh the negatives:1. It's 100% wool yarn. I refuse to spend weeks/months on an item that's made out of synthetic yarn. I've lived long enough to discover that wool holds up far better over time than any synthetic fiber. Plus, I don't like the smell of synthetics. (I will use some blended wool when making things for children, for ease of washing.)2. It's extremely affordable. I found a car coat pattern I really liked. If I'd try buying Rowan or Brooklyn Tweed, even Cascaade or Istex, I'd easily have spent $150 to $200, possibly more. With the Fishermen's I got enough yarn for the whole coat for $80, and that's with the necessary doubling to get the proper weight for the stitch gauge.3. Bonus: After washing and blocking, I Love the slight felting that occurs. It closes up spaces in the stitch pattern and makes the fabric even warmer.Would I like to have an unlimited yarn budget to get the fancy yarn? Sure, who wouldn't? But what I have found is an affordable wool yarn that now enables me to consider large projects that before I'd have to reject due to cost considerations.Oh, one more thing. I'm a life-long buyer of textiles of all kinds - thread, yarn, fabric, etc. And I have always appreciated India's textile products. Seeing that this yarn is made in India makes me love it all the more.

The yarn itself is perfect but I ordered 2 skeins and they are from different dye lot, so slight colour difference

I got this for test knitting Selbu mittens and have been delighted with the color and durability. It's easy to knit with, never splits, and forgives inconsistent tension. I'll keep adding more of this to my stash.

Helpful notes to the interested: Careful when washing, tends to felt if over handled or washed in anything but COLD water. However, it you WANT felt, this would be a decent yarn to use, I would imagine. Love this yarn.I have the Oatmeal which is like a linen colour, the original stock (90% wool from India) Birch Tweed (before the redux Birch Tweed (75% wool) which I do not recommend because it has tiny plastic strands in the wool, not good).Last and most recent, this OAK TWEED, which is more cream than brown when it knits up. Very tweed looking, VERY reminiscent of a birch forest. Wool still has that woolly scent of lanolin to it and it is soft (not coarse) to the touch-easily worn next to skin or over thin cotton shirt. COZY, COZY, C O Z Y ! Knit with TWO strands of the OAK TWEED (yep, two balls at the same time) to get a plush and super cozy knitwear garment or item.
